Oh, i forgot to tell y'all

I tried some of those chocolate covered Wavy Lays this weekend.

First bite was weird.
By bite three I was in love.

By the end of the bag I was sick of them and may never try another.
At $3.50 a bag they are a little spendy. (That's a small bag - individual size).


but I gotta say, for at least half a bag, the crunchy, salty sweetness is pretty damn good.

That way you've had just enough, at a more reasonable $1.75 per serving.

that keeps me coming back to this place.

It will, however, require a pretty colossal change in my prevailing attitude towards bags of chips and bags of chocolate.


I think I can do it though. It's worth another tree fiddy to find out.

.

PepsiCo has contributed $1,716,300 to oppose the passage of California Proposition 37, which would mandate the disclosure of genetically modified crops used in the production of California food products.


Enjoy your chips.

Buy a big bag of regular chips and some candy bars or Hershey's Kisses. Melt and drizzle, in single serving batches. And don't overdo it.

used to make me a can of chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate covered peanuts every year for Christmas. It was always the one thing I looked forward to the most and what really made it the holiday season for me. Man I miss Aunt Helen.


I am really gonna have to work on the "don't overdo it" part...I've never been good at not overdoing it lol.
